I contacted Ida's to provide desserts for my mother's memorial service. Not that it matters, but…read moreI'm planning this from the West Coast, so I'm not familiar with caterers in Toledo. I contacted them because of good reviews and an appealing website. I told them right at the beginning that it was for 40 people and I wanted desserts only. They sent me a price sheet (listing multiple items sold by the dozen). I called with a few more logistic questions and the rep told me "we don't sell just a (a = one in my world) dozen of anything," so when I sent in my order I ordered two dozen of multiple items. She never said I could only order ONE item for that small of a group. I got an email back saying "Thank you so much for your time, but I don't think that we will be able to accommodate this." More than a week has gone by since initial contact and now I'm back to square one to find a caterer in Toledo who can provide excellent desserts. Their food might be great - I can't attest to that. But word-of-mouth is a caterer's livelihood, and I simply cannot sit back and not make others aware of poor customer service.

After a long wait, I finally received a response on October 29 apologizing for the delay and confirming my date was available. They asked me to schedule a call through their portal to discuss details, which I did for November 4. Unfortunately, they did not show up for the call. They eventually connected with me later that day, and I sent inspiration photos to help with planning. After that, I heard nothing until January 16, 2026, when Katie messaged me asking if I had seen her proposal. She apologized for the lack of follow-up and said she would resend it if needed. I informed her that I had not received the proposal in my spam or portal, and she promised to resend it the next day. However, by January 17, I still had not received anything. I followed up again on March 1, 2026, hoping for some progress. Despite the ongoing communication issues, I was drawn to their work because of the beautiful photos and event space they showcased on Instagram. I really wanted to use their services. On March 2, I finally received a response from Stephen, who explained Katie was attending a conference but assured me I would get the proposal within a few days, no later than the end of that week. Now, 20 days later, I have received no proposal and no further follow-up. I am left with no choice but to look elsewhere. If I could give zero stars, I would. I cannot comment on their food or event space because I was never able to utilize their services. I want to support local small businesses, but this experience has been incredibly disappointing and frustrating.

For our wedding reception, we needed to hire a caterer. This was the first time we had done so, so…read morewe were unsure of the process and where to start. We contacted Blue Ribbon Catering, and they were incredibly helpful. Not to mention, they were patient and kind as we asked a multitude of questions to gain clarity. Everyone was very patient, especially Melissa, with whom we were in constant contact regarding the event. She made everything so easy to understand. Many of our guests had different food allergies, and they were able to accommodate us as best as they could. Everything was wonderful, and people raved about the food. The team was very professional; they showed up on time and had the food ready to go. Prices were also very reasonable, which we really appreciated since we were planning a wedding on a budget. It was definitely worth it. We had Vanessa as our private caterer, and she was incredibly kind to every single guest. She even helped my mom set up an entire dessert table that my mom had prepared separately. Vanessa didn't have to do that, but she was willing to help. Overall, our experience with Blue Ribbon Catering felt very comforting and family-like. We highly recommend them, and if we have another event up north in Ohio, we will absolutely be contacting them again.

She knew the menu very well and made our experience great. The place itself is nice and very spacious! I also liked they had fires and an outdoor patio to go eat outside. I'll for sure be back when craving some bbq.

On my last visit, we dined on the patio (which would have been too chilly today). Inside the dining room, I noticed that the booths had drapes that were pulled back on each side. However, I would imagine the drapes could be set loose to create an intimate dining experience for dinner. The ambiance is sophisticated and comfortable at the same time, with Italian accents and artwork. Last time here, I vowed to try their pizza. However, I had pizza yesterday for dinner and opted for a high protein dish of Chicken Piccata. I must give high praise to our server Sheldon. He was the absolute epitome of how to serve a large group with efficiency and good humor. He knew exactly how to "stage" a large group photo far better than I could have attempted given the table setting. He was also extremely organized in taking our orders and serving them to the right people. Let's gush about the food now. A number of our group enjoyed the Mama's Bread appetizer, which looked like cheese bread with a garlic flavor, served with a zesty tomato dipping sauce. That's how it was described and definitely looked delicious. (I didn't try it because I was saving myself for my entree.) We waited a reasonable amount of time for our meals, given the number of people in our party. Sheldon had told me ithe Children Piccata was his favorite entree so I had high hopes. It looked delicious and I was very hungry. Since I tend to order Chicken Piccata at various restaurants, I had a base of comparison. It was a generous portion of chicken served over angel hair pasta, with artichoke hearts and mushrooms. It was very tasty and yet I had hoped for a bit more lemon flavor. It was delicious nonetheless, but more oily than my preference. Again, I thoroughly enjoyed it and took home leftovers, but these factors detracted somewhat from the meal. I tried my best to take pictures of my friends' meals without being too obnoxious, but didn't catch a picture of the Shrimp Risotto that one friend raved about. Another positive comment about Sheldon's professionalism is that he provided us separate checks and kept our checks/credit cards straight. Our experience at Rosie's was very impressive and I highly recommend this restaurant! But be sure to make reservations because it's an understandably popular restaurant, even mid-day. Can only imagine the dinner crowd!
